I talk to strangers. My wife puts up with this. It's not in her nature. But she puts up with a lot from me. Today, while at the doctor's office waiting for my blood to be drawn, I struck up a conversation with the 84-year-old man sitting beside me, while he waited for his wife of 62 years to have her blood drawn.
I'm not sure if Chat Roulette holds the same appeal as talking with random strangers in real life.

I know, know, who is their right mind would watch a review this long? Like me, you may have hated 'The Phantom Menace.' That's all the more reason to watch this hilarious and brutal review. It's broken up into seven 10-minute chunks. After watching the first part, embedded below, I guarantee you won't be able to stop watching. The Daily Beast has a background story on who made this review masterpiece.
Parts 2 through 7 after the jump.

Wordpress 2.9 just made it easier to embed videos. Paste a URL on its own line and sites that support Oembed magically turn it into the proper embed code. Currently that is YouTube, Daily Motion, Blip.tv, Flickr, Hulu, Viddler, Qik, Revision3, Scribd, Google Video, Photobucket, PollDaddy, and WordPress.tv (and more in the next release).
If you see the video below that means it works. How simple is that? Enjoy this Q&A with one of my favorite comedians

The third and second videos below are the most interesting. The advice he gives applies to pretty much an artistic endeavor. Part two is on the difficulty of finding good stories. Part three is about getting past the stage where your works is bad. You may have good taste, know good work when you see it, and strive to make good work, but it's going to take a long time to become good yourself.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Medical bills are behind more than 60 percent of U.S. personal bankruptcies, U.S. researchers reported on Thursday in a report they said demonstrates that healthcare reform is on the wrong track.
More than 75 percent of these bankrupt families had health insurance but still were overwhelmed by their medical debts, the team at Harvard Law School, Harvard Medical School and Ohio University reported in the American Journal of Medicine.
"Unless you're Warren Buffett, your family is just one serious illness away from bankruptcy," Harvard's Dr. David Himmelstein, an advocate for a single-payer health insurance program for the United States, said in a statement.

This has to be the most entertaining obituary I have ever read. It's also a person I would have liked to have known. By coincidence she lived only twenty minutes away from my home town.
(Nancy) Lee Hixson of Danville, Ohio died at sunrise on June 30, 2009.
She was born Nancy Lee Wood in Cleveland on April 17, 1944, baptized at St. Paul's Lutheran Church, Valley City Ohio, and confirmed at St. John's Lutheran Church, Independence Ohio.
In addition to being a teetotaling mother and an indifferent housekeeper, she was a board certified naturopath specializing in poisonous and medicinal plants; but she would like to point out, posthumously, that although it did occur to her, she never spiked anyone's tea. She often volunteered as an ombudsman to help disadvantaged teens find college funding and early opened her home to many children of poverty, raising several of them to successful, if unwilling, adulthood.

Just in case you needed something else to worry about.
David Sirota interviews Lawrence E. Joseph about his book Apocalypse 2012: An Investigation Into Civilization's End.
This week, he came on my radio show and we discussed all the different apocalyptic possibilities, from Yellowstone's overdue super-volcano eruption to the possibility of a meteor collision with the Earth. Couple that stuff with the Mayan prophecy about 2012, and it makes for a disturbing – but truly interesting – topic. Via Nerdivore

I came across this again while cleaning out old emails and decided to post it. This may be the best commercial I've ever seen. This will make you laugh more than anything on SNL since 1992.
